Crazy Wind

This morning we put on another coat of oil to the new parts we oiled yesterday. I caulked a few more seams that were left and then helped Katie finish off the half round. The wind really picked up today and was getting really crazy at lunch. Grant was in the rigging, Ryan and Brooke were doing whippings and Kat went off to meet up with her family. Ryan sloshed some cables; I tarred the main course pennant brace, Katie oiled some blocks and belay pins. Katie and I then oiled the chest of drawers in the heads. Sveta showed me how we’re going to sew on the fair leads to the sail, really interesting. Lastly we did a deck wash, it really needed it and it was really different because of the way the water ran over the oiled deck. Sadly Katie was manning the hose and got really soaked. We were going to stand watch through out the night because there were a lot of weather warnings, but we ended up not having to. Oh and Lynx disappeared in the middle of the night, they are over at the Rivera Beach Marina, had they been here they would really be smashing around.
